$6 million per year for Stempniak?! That has to be a mistake. They probably meant 2 years, $6 million total. So $3 million per year.

It wasn't a mistake, he also offered $7m per year for Olli Jokinen. I also saw some of his other signings: Over $3m for Blake Comeau, etc...
He said he wanted to waste cap space, as he is rebuilding...

What is with some of these contracts? Stempniak and Jokinen would earn more money in 2 years than Tuukka Rask will in 5? I'm not apart of this game, and I get the logic behind the Stemp and Joki signings, it's just weird. Very, very weird.

I see where you are coming from but you also have to understand that if Rask only gets one offer then he is very few options.

On the other hand, its not their fault that Stempniak are getting paid so much...The GMs want to be smart and get to the floor without having to trade for players with bad contracts. This way they dont give up assets.
